Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 16, 2026
This policy explains what information Daniel J.D. Bayard ("I," "me," "my") collects through this website, why, and the choices you have. In short: I collect your email address so I can send you the free chapters and my emails, and I do not sell it.
What I collect
- Your email address, when you enter it to receive the free chapters and my emails.
- Basic technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device type, and the pages you visit and links you click. This helps me understand what is working and keep the site secure.
How I use it
- To deliver the free chapters you requested.
- To send you my emails: historical dispatches, character lore, archival stories, and promotional offers for my books. As stated when you sign up, these emails may arrive daily.
- To measure and improve this website and my emails.
- To respond if you contact me.
Your consent and how to opt out
You are added to my list only after you check the agreement box, submit your email, and confirm your subscription by email. You can unsubscribe at any time, for any reason, using the unsubscribe link at the bottom of every email. You may also write to me at the address below and I will remove you.
Who I share it with
I do not sell or rent your personal information. I use trusted service providers to operate this site and send my emails (such as an email delivery service, website hosting, and analytics). They may process your information only to provide those services to me. I may also disclose information if required by law.
Cookies and analytics
This site and my service providers may use cookies or similar technology to understand traffic and how visitors use the site. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings.
How long I keep it
I keep your email address for as long as you remain subscribed. If you unsubscribe, I keep only the minimum record needed to honor your request and not email you again.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example, California or the European Economic Area), you may have the right to request access to the personal information I hold about you, ask me to correct or delete it, or object to certain uses. To make a request, contact me below.
Children
This site is not directed to children under 13, and I do not knowingly collect personal information from them. My books for younger readers are intended to be purchased and read with a parent or guardian.
Security
I take reasonable steps to protect your information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
Changes
If I update this policy, I will change the date at the top of this page.
